Hack to include Gif in jAlbum

I'm currently using jAlbum version 13 (I highly recommend this software) and I came across the problem to include GIFs.
By default jAlbum was converting the GIF to JPG and using the generated file. To be able to include a GIF I do the following:

1.  Create a gifs folder in the root of the output directory
2. Copy the GIFs to this folder
3. Open the project and drag an drop the GIFs to de desired location
1. When asked, select to link the image
2. Right-click the image and select "Include Original"

Now the GIF will be available as the ultimate link (after the slide page).

It seems that the newest version of jAlbum supports including GIFs as I expect it, but I have not tried it.

I've added support to use an original file as "closeup image" instead of a scaled/processed version to the upcoming jAlbum 13.10 now. This is perfect for making animated GIF images animate within slide pages. To try it out, ensure you're running jAlbum 13.9, then replace lib/jalbum-core.jar with this beta . You can also replace your texts/texts.properties file with the attached one.
Once done, right-clicking an image will reveal the new "Use original" option. Just click it and make the album again. Note, animated GIFs aren't supported by jAlbum's embedded web browser so you have to open the final album in an external web browser to see the animation.
